[Dovecot] Why is direct invocation of dovecot preferred over inet inclusion?

[Stewart Dean]

I'm used to putting things in inetd and,
1) should dovecot crash, I'd think it would get restarted if it was 
invoked from inet's imap-login
2) it would get started well after the boot
...wouldn't that be preferable.  Enlighten me, please
